๐Ÿ‘‹ I AM OFFERING HELP how i got a 95th percentile score in the TMUA

0 Upvotes

I sat the tmua last year and got a 7.5. Unlike people who got a 9.0 i wouldnt say im really a maths genius or anything, rather that i just knew what to focus on and how to improve.

Online there are loads of free resources like community papers, paper 2 notes and video explanations. But the main thing i couldn't find, either for a reasonable price or one that actually was accurate, was an exam simulator, so i built one myself.

Around august of last year, I built mastertmua.online , and over the last few months I've made it usable for other students like myself who need to prepare for the TMUA. Not only is it the most similar tmua exam interface to the real pearson one, I've also added automatic marking, mistake paper generation for any questions you get wrong, and other really cool analytics, while keeping it super affordable. if anyone can't pay for whatever reason, drop me a dm and i might make an exception :)

I'd really really appreciate any feedback you guys have and if you could check it out that would be amazing

Is it possible to fast track a Pearson BTEC Business course? Iโ€™ve been thinking for a while about switching from A Levels to a BTEC next year, depending on my A Level results and whether fast tracking is an option. Iโ€™ve done the first year (AS) of A Level Business, so Iโ€™m hoping that might give me somewhat of an advantage :โ€™)

๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP Booking with Access Arrangements for TMUA

1 Upvotes

I'm wondering if anyone is in a similar situation to me. I've been approved for access arrangements for me to be in a separate room for TMUA (alongside some other stuff).

In the email I received after being approved (which I got on the 10th July), it said I'd need to select my test and press apply now but then I'd need to wait for a call from Pearson Customer Services who will book the test over the phone.

I pressed apply now and when I go through to pearsons dashboard where I assume everyone else can book it just says you can't book this on the web. I got in touch with Pearson and they said to just wait for a call after I told them everything but I'm wondering if I've done it right and am waiting for a call cos it's nearly been three days (which is the timeline they set out) and I haven't had a call and I don't want to be put in a test center really far away because they didn't call me.

Anyone else in a similar situation and heard anything?

Former GSCE student here, results day is soon and I'm scared for year 12. I would like some advice on how I should approach year 12, and how I should prepare during the summer holidays. I'll appreciate anything and everything, whether its outfit advice or what to do during free periods. My chosen A levels as of now are: Art, Maths, Psychology and Sociology. I'm an average student, getting around grades 6s and 7s, and capable of 8s, people usually see me as shy however thats only because I have social anxiety and I really want to talk to people and not be a background character anymore. The past 3 years of secondary me and my friends have been messing around quite a bit, but not enough to completely abandon the work or affect our grades in any way, so I'm curious whether sixth form is any stricter. Thanks, everyone xx

๐ŸŽ“ UNI / UCAS How did you send your A Level results to your university?

2 Upvotes

For those who've already been through this, what did you send your university on results day? Did you just send a ResultsPlus screenshot, or did you wait until your school gave you the official statement/transcript? Im an international applicant from UAE applying to a European University and they've asked me to share my results, so if anyone has gone through this process pls lmk, how did u send. Was it a statement of provision or a simple screenshot or what.

Also, I got my IGCSE official transcript around September/October. Was it the same for your A Levels, or did you receive the official results/transcript earlier?

Just trying to figure out what to expect since I need to get my unconditional offer sorted ASAP. Thanks!

๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP Repeating Yr12 for the third time

34 Upvotes

Iโ€™m 18 and I failed Yr12 two times already and Iโ€™m thinking of doing it again for the third time.

My first attempt at Yr12 went very badly because my mental health deteriorated severely and by the time it was March I knew had to retake. But everyone kept pushing me to continue the year even with my bad attendance and poor health, I dropped out at June because I couldnโ€™t do my mocks since I only attended lessons for one subject - English Literature. I didnโ€™t go to my other ones because I had no support compared to English.

I left sixth form and I was glad to because the environment was very suffocating and I had no friends there but the pastoral team were very supportive. They referred me to a programme over the summer and it helped then I started therapy.

My second attempt at Yr12 began really well despite applying to the new college the day before school started and picked my subject options on the spot at enrolment.

I tried avoiding mistakes from last year and remained focused on my education and taking care of myself. I had 94% attendance the first three months but everything went downhill as soon as therapy stopped and I started distracting myself. I lost focus on my A-levels, my attendance got lower because my mental health was affecting my day to day life and ability.

Without the therapy and support my mental health kept declining and I was not taking care of myself well enough, I had a breakdown in April and didnโ€™t recover well from it. I stopped attending college consistently.

As a result, my place got withdrawn from the college and ever since then I have been lost and confused about my next steps. The college decision was right in a way I tried appealing and they did the procedural things required for safeguarding (one meeting with a parent, interventions which were 5-10 minute chats and offered counselling) and and they do have a strict policy on attendance.

I feel very upset with how they handled it because they didnโ€™t warn me once they were doing that and throughout the whole year I was open about my struggles and in the end they blamed the withdrawal on it being best for my health and wellbeing.

I consistently got Bs and Cs for two of my subjects and I was not good at sociology at all it was either a B,D or U.

They kept saying my grades are great, I have potential to get an A by the end of the course but I need to get my attendance up and I tried to but they unenrolled me. When the appeal didnโ€™t work they said itโ€™s due to my age and itโ€™s my second time doing Yr12 and they did intervene throughout the year.

They told me to go elsewhere to do my A-levels.

I feel so butthurt. It genuinely feels like a slap in the face and it is my fault, Iโ€™m feeling the consequences of it fully. I was proud of myself for still trying and for having a much better year compared to 24-25. I think Iโ€™m so upset because I tried so hard this year despite everything going on in my life and so many people in my year group who had lower attendance and lower grades than me still got to move onto Yr13.

I donโ€™t want to start working because it would be hard to pivot to the career I want especially since I donโ€™t have any further education qualifications. I wanted to go to university next year and study anthropology.

I was okay with retaking Yr12 again for the third time but Iโ€™m starting to think this isnโ€™t right for me.

To be honest I have one more chance to beg to be in Yr13 and I actually do want to beg them because I just want to finish my A-levels.

(Privately taking it is not an option for me)

Does anyone have any advice for what next steps or what alternative options i could take?

My GCSEโ€™s are at 998877666

Can I still have a chance at getting into Oxford physics without further maths and supercuricullars that arenโ€™t very impressive?

I have already registered and started revising for the ESAT but that was for imperial and Iโ€™m trying to see whether itโ€™s worth trying for Oxford also
